Range Rover Evoque: Tyre pressure compensation for low ambient temperature changes
A colder ambient local temperature will reduce
pressure within the tyre. An effect is to
decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre
shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.
Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely
affected.
Tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate
before the start of the journey. Alternatively,
tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area
of lower ambient temperature is reached.
In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the
ambient local temperature for at least one hour
before tyre pressure is adjusted.
To compensate for colder ambient
temperatures, tyre pressures should be
increased by 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa) for each
10°C (20°F) decrease.
Note: Ensure that correct tyre pressures are
maintained when moving to areas of differing
ambient temperature.

In order to minimise flat spotting, the tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be
returned to the
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least
every six years,

Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel
(RDS-TMC) is a feature that announces traffic
hold-ups on your route as broadcast by radio
stations that transmit TMC information.
Touch the TMC button on the Navigation Menu
to access the TMC menu.
TMC events ahead on route can be displayed by
touchi
When a TMC signal is received the icon in the
top left of the screen will appear green. If a TMC
signal is not being received, the icon will be
shown with a bar through it.
The system will inform the driver of any
reported roadworks, narrow road, contraflow,
accidents, slippery road, diversion
